1 . This is the first
mosque
of Islam and has very spiritual importance. In holy Quran it is said
that
the foundation of this mosque is laid on “Taqva” (Sincerity)

Quba masjid

Another view of Msjid-e-Quna

When Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.)
reached
in a town near Madina during his historical migration Journey, he (S.
A.
W.) decided to stop here for a few days for taking rest. In those days
near about 500 Ansar (Madina People) reached here to welcome and help
him
(S. A. W.). During this historical stay Prophet (S. A. W.) laid the
foundation
of this great mosque. Prophet (S. A. W.) helped other companions
to build this mosque.

2 . Masjid-al-Haram, (The
second
and last Qibla), Masjid-al-Aqsa (The first Qibla) and Masjid-e-Nabvi
(The
Haram of the Last Prophet – S. A. W.) are three main mosques of the
world
which have their religious values and importance. Besides these Mosques
(HARAMS), rest of the mosques all over the world have only historical
importance.
In the list of historic mosques, Quba is on the top. In other words we
may say that Masjid-e-Quba has fourth spiritual mosque of the world
(Masjid-al-Haram,
Masjid-al-Aqsa and Masjid-al-Nabvi are the 1st , 2nd and 3rd
respectively,
and the fourth is Masjid-al-Quba). According to sayings of Prophet (S.
A. W.)

“The Reward of a Prayer
in
Quba Mosque is JustLike a Reward of One Umra”.On the out side wall
of Masjid-e-quba sayins
of Prophet Muhammad sallalla ho allihiwasalam
is written regarding the reward of umra, offering
two rakah in quba Masjid

When Muslims under the
leadership
of Prophet (S. A. W.) were going to perform Umra before conquering
Makkah,
Quresh did not allow them to enter in Makkah. Muslims had to stop at
Hudabiya.
(If you travel from Jeddah to Makkah by road, you will see a big RAHAL
over the highway. It is very near to Hudabiya and now a days non
muslims
are not allowed to go beyond this point. Here a police check post is
made
for checking the identity and passports).

Here at Hudabiya Prophet Muhammad
(S.
A. W.) did a historic Hudabiya Pact with Quresh-e-Makkah. According to
this pact Muslim had to go back without performing “Umra this year”. It
was very disappointing agreement for the companions (RA) but history
proved
that it was really a great intelligence of Prophet (S. A. W.) who did
this
Pact which helped Muslims to conquer Makkah. Since the companions (RA)
were disappointed not to perform Umra, Prophet (S. A. W.) told them,
“Who
ever offer one prayer (Salat) in Quba Mosque, he will get reward equal
to one Umra”. It have became precedent and now if any body offers a
prayer
here he would get reward of one Umra.

3 . Before conquering
Makkah,
Muslims wanted to go to perform Umra under the leadership of Prophet(S. A. W.) but kuffar-e-Makkah
did not allowed them to enter in the Holy Makkah. Muslims were
stopped
in “Hudebiya” (If you travel from Jeddah to Makkah, you will find this
place 22 K.M. before Makkah where a big (Rahal) gate over highway is
built.

4 . Quba is situated two
miles
from Masjid-e-Nabvi and taxis , outside Haram take pilgrims to show all
Madina’s religious spots in which Quba is included. Yellow cabs take 10
Riyals per person to show all historical, religious spots. This mosque
can be visited any day in any time but Saturday visit is said more
reward
able.

5 . Now, this mosque is
beautifully
constructed. Basic construction of this mosque was done by Turks. But
Saudi
government decorated it beautifully. In the courtyard of this mosque a
Mehrab is built where the verses of Quran was delivered to
Prophet
(S. A. W.). Ladies and gents entrance are separate. Ultra modern
washrooms are built for pilgrims.
